"the study ranked Massachusetts 46th among Americans who self-reported helping their neighbors at least a few times a week." In Massachsuetts, especially in Cambridge, individuals are discouraged from helping neighbors. Competition rules in university dominated towns. Taxpayer funded human services agencies whose mission is to help vulnerable citizens do not respond to requests for help. Police determine who gets help and who they are allowed to abuse directly or by employing criminal surrogates. Much of the abuse is done by the local equivalent of James Bulger (on trial in Boston US Court for 19 homicides while working as an) FBI informant. He murdered civilians who dared to complain about his crimes to the FBI. In Cambridge local police agencies run their own teams of (crime family) sociopaths who attack vulnerable citizens on behalf of police and as favors to police patrons. This is surprising to transients at the universities who come and go. They know little of what transpires among government agencies and their college clown campus cops.
